Pre-heat the oven to Moderate, 160ºC fan,, 170ºC, 340ºF, Gas 4. Line and grease a spring form tin (20cm- 8inch)

Slice the banana or mash it.

Using and electric mixer beat the sugar and butter together for 3 minutes. Add 2 eggs, the banana, almond meal, and cocoa, beat for another minute.

Now sieve in the rice flour and work into the mix - becomes quite stiff. Add remaining eggs, orange juice and beat for a further 3 minutes. This is quite a thick batter and you will need to use a spatula to help it into the baking tin.

Pour into tin, bake for between 50 minutes to 1 hour, it is cooked when a tooth pick or skewer comes out clean.

Allow to cool slightly before releasing tin so this helps the cake settle and hopefully it won't crack.

Dust with icing sugar or place some orange segments on top - not shown as my nephew could not wait to start eating this one - he's 4 next week, come to that his baby sister liked it too.
